WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. -- A witness to a brawl between two teenage girls in the Academies of West Memphis gym Wednesday afternoon tells WREG one of the girls seen in a viral video may have removed her pants because they were too tight to fight in.

"The girl was like, 'My pants is tight, let me take them off,'" said the witness, who wanted to remain anonymous.

Many had wondered about the rationale behind the half-naked lunchtime fight which ended in both girls being arrested.

"I was just wondering why the kids was getting out their clothes. I never seen it happen before," said concerned parent Aretha Poney.

It reads, "West Memphis Police Department transported two juveniles to the Crittenden County Detention Center. This matter is still under investigation. No further information will be released after this prepared statement."

WREG is not releasing the names of the girls because of their ages. It also isn't clear what charges they may be facing.

WREG was told by the witness that the fight might have stemmed from a dispute over some kind of relationship.

Students told WREG some of their fellow classmates got into trouble for recording the fight, but WREG was unable to confirm that with the school.
